  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

My dream is to create a comedic youtube video viewed by millions that incorporates christian values.

You can help by checking it out by searching F8 Show or F8vlogger (for my channel) at youtube and subscribing if you like me!

All content is clean, and I do my best to have underlying christian values. Please let me know how I am doing, my second video will go up on Sunday.! :amen:

I see what you mean by Christian values of laughing at people that hurt themselves in
falls.
I also did not know that the Christian concept, the Act of Jesus being slain by Blade to
be a comedy. Joy to the World?

Is your desire to have eyes of millions of creation to be focused on your works and
to like you instead of being focused on the Father in Heaven?
So what is your true dream?

Underlying means you are hiding or masking something.
Focusing on your face after the skateboard crash,
I wonder what are your true underlying emotions.

The Holy Spirit brings comfort, not a comedy of pain.
So who, brought you these ideas in this videos?

One guess.

Joy to the World, ask the Skateboarder if she was feeling joy.

I see your points, but at the same time think your being a bit harsh.

Making jokes isn't against God, and being able to find good out of a bad situation, I believe, is a good thing.

If I can make people laugh while incorporating christian values I think it's a good direction for teens, who are the target.

I'm trying to create something that will impact people on a large basis, and I know my whole video doesn't show you the perfect way to live your life.

If young people watch this and come out thinking about God rather then what most of these you tube videos having them believing, then perhaps they can have a positive act on our society.

So I understand where your coming from, but I hope you understand im not laughing at other peoples misfortunes. It was posted by them or their friends because they thought it was humorous.

I appreciate all opinions, but to say that I want people to see me is a bit extreme, as in no way would i ever want someone to idolize me.

I have faith in God, and believe that he is calling me to create something which will help share his word with others.

Thank you for your response!

Don't give up on your dream.

Is your target audience Christian or non-Christian? If it's non-Christian, then you may be better off asking feedback from them or people who have only just become Christians. I think people who have been Christians for many years can sometimes find it difficult to connect with some newer outreach approaches. There are usually stages in a person becoming a Christian a la Mark 4:28, before they are open to receive the gospel message. I think your concept would fit well with pre-evangelism bridge-building to connect with non-Christians.

I liked how you used facial expressions for humour & your editing approaches. You don't have to explicit with mentioning the bibl
e if you are seeking to connect with people in the early stages of outreach. SOme people get turned-off as soon as the bible is mentioned. How can you illustrate a biblical truth of principle without explicitly mentioning bible verses?

Who are the stand-up comics that you like? And what have you learned from them?

What do you think of these guys? I don't think they are Christians & don't have a Christian message, but I think they are pretty funny: YouTube - Hamish and Andy gorilla suit prank - Hamish & Andy's Reministmas Special

Thanks for the encouraging response!

My auidence is mostly teens to maybe early 20s of non christians. I want to target people who are either on the fence about God or havent really thought about it.

I just want to be able to spread Christs words as far as I can, and have an impact on the community. I think that for kids in this age to really engage in a youtube type video with christian values, it's going to have to have a more modern approach.

Thanks so much for taking the time to check it out, the one I will be posting on Sunday will be a little different than to first, and i hope to addapt to what will be the most popular while still having a strong christian message.

Sorry, I honestly didn't know.

I'm not only on these forums to post about this stuff, I honestly wanted feedback from the christian community and some encouragement to help push my dreams in the right direction. But I also wanted to be here to find like minded people to help me grow in my faith and relationship with God.

I actually got this idea after a sermon on, "ordinary people doing the extraordinary." (obviously through having faith in Jesus Christ)

I know coming here and posting what I did might look bad, but I'm genuinely trying to make a difference.

Thanks to those who are supporting and not supporting it, God Bless you both.
